Which mechanism limits catalytic converter efficiency despite adequate temperature and stoichiometry control?

💡 Explanation

When sulfur compounds are present, catalyst poisoning occurs because sulfur binds strongly to the active sites on the precious metals, blocking the intended reactions and reducing the catalytic activity. Therefore, catalyst poisoning results, rather than insufficient contact, deactivation or obstruction which are distinct failure pathways requiring different conditions.
